Learn and Understand React JS

Master this new library created by Facebook engineers to make scalable and super fast web applications!

This course will get you up and running quickly, and teach you the core knowledge you need to deeply understand and build React components.

We’ll start by mastering the fundamentals of React, including JSX, “props”, “state”, and eventing. Source code is provided for each lecture, so you will always stay up-to-date with the course pacing.

If you are new to React, or if you’ve been working to learn it but sometimes feel like you still don’t quite ‘get it’, this is the React course for you! To learn React you have to understand it.

Learn how to use React’s custom markup language, JSX, to clean up your Javascript code.

Learn the process of converting JSX to raw Javascript on the fly in your browser.

Master the process of breaking down a complex component into many smaller, interchangeable components.

Grasp the difference between “props” and “state” and when to use each.

Learn how to construct your own automated build process using Gulp and Browserify to automatically prepare your React code for deployment.

Use Bootstrap to get awesome-looking components.
